The purpose of this invention is to provide a kit with which anindividual may manufacture perfume and the like for his personal use.

The manufacture of cosmetics and particularly per.- fume, cologne,toiletwater, powder and the like is limited to. companies in possession ofcertain formulas and, as .an illustration, the ingredients of some ofthe most. costly perfumes are relatively inexpensive. With this thoughtin mind this invention contemplates a complete manufacturing kitincluding all components required in the manufacture or compounding ofcosmetics with pipettes or syringes, containers, and a plurality offormulas, whereby an individual may produce various types of perfume,cologne, powders, and the like.

The object of this invention, is therefore, to provide means forcompounding cosmetics for individual use.

Another object of the invention is to provide a manufacturing kit forcosmetics in which sufiicient elements and directions are included toenable the average layman to compound the most exclusive perfumes,colognes, and other cosmetics.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a kit with whichan individual may compound cosmetics in which elements of the kit arereadily replaceable.

Figure 2 is a view showing a typical pipette with which drops ofmaterials may be deposited in the containers.

Figure 3 is a view illustrating a typical container which may be made ofplastic, glass, or other suitable materiaL.

and in which the device is sealed with a screw cap-pipette assembly orany other such mechanism which enables the raw materials to be dispenseddropwise, or volumetrically.

Figure 4 is a view illustrating a typical container of a similar ordifferent shape and/or a similar or different type such as being made ofcork.

Figure 5 is an elevational view of a case or box of a different type inwhich the elements may be contained in a pasteboard box.

Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters denotecorresponding parts the cosmetic manufacturing kit of this inventionincludes. a case vhaving a base 10 and. a cover 11, raw materials incontainers 12 positioned in cells 13 in the case, a typical pipette 14for withdrawing materials from thecontainers 12 and.

dropping the materials in product containers 15, also positioned in thecells, a solvent container 16 holding a suitable solvent, such asalcohol, and a brochure 17 "held by spring fingers l8 and 19in the cover11.

The containers may be bottles 9, with screw caps 20', or with screwcap-pipette assemblies, as shown in Figure 3, wherein the containers maybe made of glass, plastic, metal, or other suitable material, or thecontainers may be made of cork, as shown in Figure 4, in which thecontainers are provided with openings which are closed with stoppers 22,the containers being indicated by the numeral 21. The inner surfaces ofthe cork containers 21 may be "lined with a film of a suitable material,such as plastic impervious to the products to be placed therein. Thecontainers may also be of any functional shape, such as a collapsiblemetal tube, or pliable plastic containers with appropriate measuring ordropwise dispensing devices may be used. The containers shown in Figure4 may be unmarked, or may themselves be calibrated, or a calibarteddevice, such as a transparent or translucent calibrated material may beafiixed or used in conjunction with said containers.

The cover of the case may be hinged, as shown in Figure l, or the casemay be made of cardboard, such as a cardboard box 23 having a flangedcover 24, as shown in Figure 5.
